All aboard the spooky train!

Blueberry that sucks. Nothing wrong with crying or at least that's what I tell myself cos I always cry when I'm frustrated.

secretreveleater · 23/09/2014 20:41

ooh lots of newbies. Welcome and good luck to you all.

Af started on sunday so we are officially in our first ttc cycle. So excited it's ridiculous Grin

TheProofIsInThePudding · 23/09/2014 20:42

Frolic you are definitely welcome if you are bringing gin!

Hello to all the other newcomers too!

As others have said I don't think it makes a great deal of difference between DTD every day or every other day. We're planning on EOD because it will be more manageable for us.

AF has buggered off (hoorah!) and so I'm now waiting for ov.

ItsFunnierInEnochian · 23/09/2014 20:45

Jessica Enoch will do fine Grin

Bit of extra info, I'm weaning off Amitriptylene, dropped from 75mg to 50mg today, GP says it absolutely won't harm baby if I should get a BFP before I'm totally off them. I take 40mg of Propranolol too which I'm still allowed to take up to 3 times a day but have only ever used it once a day. Just putting it out there in case any others on this thread have similar health issues Smile

sparkle17 · 23/09/2014 21:11

welcome to the october bus newbies, more the merrier. We all love a bfp story so the more of us the more chance of bfp's. Can I make a request that I am one of them....now who do i speak to about that. Lucie seen as you are the lovely stat manager....if i give you a fiver will that work!

Bugger, just had the mother of all arguments with dh. Why do we always argue around ov? Told him to move into the new house on his own Sad fuck it!

Spinning have you booked those flights yet? The thought is looking very appealing Grin

Thankyou sunbathing, hugs was definitely what I needed Smile

Frolicacid · 23/09/2014 21:41

Thanks for all the welcomes! I have plenty of sloe gin and blackberry brandy. Contemplating making some rosehip vodka this weekend as well. Surely I'm bound to get pregnant with that lot on the go. And if not, then at least I will be merry Grin

I'm trying epo this month after barely getting any ewcm last cycle. Does anyone else take it? What quantities do you take? I usually take 1000mg (to help with sore boobs before AF) but assuming I need to up the dose.

Pour us all a glass of that gin frolic I have taeken 1000mg the past 3 months but not noticed any changes. i have upped it to 2000mg this month. only take it up till ov though. last month i also started using cough medicine as well.

Why are these men being so rubbish. hope they change their act MrsE and Blueberry

lucieloos · 23/09/2014 22:06

Sparkle will definitely keep my fingers crossed that I'm updating the stats and adding you (and me) onto the bfp list this month Grin

Ainat266 · 23/09/2014 22:07

sorry to hear some of you are having partner troubles. We're not, but I am mad at him because he's too tired tonight. stupid to be mad at him because he is tired. :-(

TheProofIsInThePudding · 23/09/2014 22:19

MrsE I think that moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do. Add TTC into the mix and it's not surprising that you are giving each other short shrift at the moment. For us it helps to remember that it's the situation that's the problem and it's not actually a problem between us, if that makes sense?

Frolicacid · 23/09/2014 22:24

Thanks sparkleand sunbathing. I'm on cycle day 8 now and have been taking 1000mg since day 1. Might up it to 3000mg then until ovulation.
I ovulated around day 17 last cycle so haven't yet started with the serious dtd. I've had a stomach bug the past few days so not feeling sexy at all!

Dozygirl · 23/09/2014 22:51

It sure does cause more stress between partners ttc because if u weren't trying then it wouldn't matter if they were too tired to dtd. But put ttc into the mix especially around ov time and then they're too tired, it becomes really frustrating. I'm willing to put my all into it even when I would rather just snuggle up and go to sleep but DP doesnt have as strong a desire as me (yet) for making this baby.
Keep promising a full bj the day I find out I'm pregnany tho to keep him interested haha.

Dozygirl · 23/09/2014 22:53

Ps blueberry I cry too even tho I don't want to as that will defo not turn him on. Hope he changes his mind for you.

Welcome to all the new bus passengers

Jessica85 · 23/09/2014 23:05

Lols dozy that sound like bribery to me writing it in my notebook for when needed.

So, I just had a mini meltdown. Basically it went like this:
Me: omg what if we just made a baby
Dp: we want a baby
Me: but seriously, what if WE just made an actual BABY
Dp: we want a baby
Me: oh yeah, better go put a softcup in then

Sometimes I don't know how he puts up with my crazy!

Dozygirl · 23/09/2014 23:44

Haha I nesely didn't listen to my own advice. Was babysitting for a friend and she was late home so I told her to hurry or DP would be too tired and that's exactly what happened. So I cross and moaned about it saying do u not want to make me happy blah blah blah. Anyway thankfully my moaning worked and he was able to work his magic yey. Mooncup in again.
Not sure if I've been feeling ov pains or whether I'm just imagining it coz Im thinking about it so much. Hope it is tho. Do others get ov pains after our positive opks or is it during the positives? I had 2 days of positive and back to negative today so
Hoping it means I've only just ov'd as only DTD on second day of positive and today. Wish u could find a way of knowing exactly when you're ovulating but whoever discovers that wil be a millionaire lol.

Hey ladies, just catching up on thread, I giggled lots yesterday from posts but didn't have time to reply!

Lots of lovely new faces,big waves and hellos all round. Wowsers lucie that list is impressive and so long, super exciting, I'm really hopeful this month and my Ov is timed just right to have lots of birthday drinks if I get a bfn this month.

Spinning hope your DP has stopped acting up! I feel your pain, sometimes I'm so glad mine works away he was a total ass this weekend and I was rather happy waving him off on Sunday. He's made up for it now, my kindle is slowly dying and he had ordered me a next gen one so all is forgiven.

Sorry to hear you got a bfn Genni hope your AF hurries along so you can get busy. Blueberry cramps suck, hope your feeling a little better.

Ooh a honeymoon baby would be lovely Sarah, have an amazing time Saturday, I love weddings

Frolic I'm not much of a gin drinker but that blackberry brandy sounds right up my street!! Must have a go at making that.

So in crazy land it's CD7 and I'm still having a really heavy A. It's horrible. I've never had this bride I'm usually more of a 3 or 4 days kinda girl. So I'm a bit worried that something's wrong. Also now all my apps have given up on me so between FF, Ovia and mydays I am going to be fertile fr at least three weeks... Woo!! :/ fx

frogbubbles · 24/09/2014 00:08

((Tmi Alert)) blumming heck, dropped phone and my message sent before I had finished, basically I'm asking (sorry for the tmi) has anyone had a really long long long heavy, clotty, AF before? Because mine are usually pretty light it's a bit weird and I've been bleeding 8days and it doesn't look it feel like there's any let up - bad times Sad

Illiria · 24/09/2014 03:43

Sorry to all those having DP/DH issues.

Somehow I have managed to time dtd to coincide with his birthday so don't need to alter to fit in birthday sex :-)

Fertility friend can't figure out if I have OV'd but think I did the two days ago based on opk and temp shift. Still going to keep dtd just in case as last month had two temp shifts.
